Summary

Based on Discovering the Universe, this bestselling text is a shorter, less expensive option with streamlined presentation of topics. While maintaining the themes and approach to astronomy found in the longer text, Discovering the Essential Universe presents only the essential information for students' reference, enrichment, and review with minimal pedagogy and no ties to a media component.
